final int covariant(Type t, StorageClass* pstc = null, bool fix17349 = true);

Covariant means that 'this' can substitute for 't', i.e. a pure function is a match for an impure type.

Parameters:

final StorageClass parameterStorageClass(Parameter p);

Take the specified storage class for p, and use the function signature to infer whether STCscope and STCreturn should be OR'd in. (This will not affect the name mangling.)
